Thanks. Great review. Agree with the penetration who are a little be "funny", one time, at range, AP is better against BB, one time it's SAP. Rng? Currently at the T9, T10 target for the end of the year (or Z52...), the two problems are cv and center control (because this line is better in move, propulsion not with a good level). For the matchmaking, with more cruiser in T10, not sur it's the WarGaming works. In EU server, yes we have more cruiser in game, but I think it's when we have (or are) a lot cruiser player to go in game in the same time. We always have battle (consecutive per moments) with for example 1 cv, 1 bb and 5 DD.
It was just something I noticed in the MM, that I suddenly started seeing cruisers in T10, especially on Asia. In lower tiers, the AP was the way to go against BBs - try Trento AP against mid-tier battleships, it's brutal. Here, I'm not sure anymore - they seem to be very close to each other, so I can as well just stick with the SAP on the higher alpha damage.
Venezia players: What I do have are a particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. But great video as always, Terry! Compared to other CAs this line definitely isn't my favorite but well now I know what to expect. :>>>
Been waiting for this one, and now Im excited about finishing my Italian line!!! I just got Minnesota though so itll be a minute...😁 -USNVet, JRDJ, NA server
Earned her when they first came out and then sold her when they nerfed the whole line, might have to buy her back and give her another try, great video Terry.
Terry, Another good video, I came up basically with the same plan playing Venezia. Show broadside when no bb’s are around. Games w/single cap zone I get pummeled by bb’s. Advice by anyone, I always try to capture and hold zones. Stu
In terms of historical relevance the tiers 8-10 indeed didn’t even exist on paper. However in amalfi’s description it says that she was designed by the ansaldo company, but I couldn’t find any evidence of that company ever designing these ships. The last conventional Italian cruisers to be built were the Abruzzi class in late 1937. After those two ships I don’t believe the Italians were even designing any more cruisers.
From what I've found, at least the Amalfi was an Ansaldo design for the Spanish Navy. After that, it's WG's imagination, I think. stefsap.wordpress.com/2015/11/30/the-1940s-super-washington-ansaldo-cruisers-for-spain-1200-plans-iii/
Don't get me wrong, I love my Hindi, and if given the choice between the two, that's probably what I'd pick. But that SAP against DDs is absolutely murderous, and the gun layout compensates for a lot. For me, certainly a ship I'll get eventually, especially that I have Sanzonetti.
I got my hands on Sansonetti a while ago, that got me interested in the line again. Especially that the SAP seems rather on par with the AP on Venezia, although I'd have to try if she starts overpenning DDs with his skill
Thanks Terry!!!! Now you know what I'm going to ask for next.........................It starts with a "Z", It has bad torp angles )but it is a flame thrower🔥), and it's at tier 10.
Terry need help I am at present grinding up the American cruiser line and I am at a lost should I go the heavy cruiser or light cruiser line.... Please help me out the pros and cons of the respective line
I didn't realise until I've watched the footage, actually - was too busy zooming around the map to be where I needed to be. Props to our Yama, they did the right thing to run away, rather than try and kill Worcester, and focus down the Shiki. We could have easily still lost that.
Looks nice CA,but definitely with the special play style which you did it in the right way,I’ve learned a lot bro👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
The first games I played were really average. Give even just a bit of angle to get the rear guns to bear, and BBs will punish you very quickly for it.
@@FunandGameswithTerry I hope to get her in the near future and for sure try to consider these valuable points 🙏🙏👍👍
Thank you Terry! I have been waiting for this!!

I have Sanzonetti on the Trento atm, but yeah, that's a line I'll low-key follow as well
Earned her when they first came out and then sold her when they nerfed the whole line, might have to buy her back and give her another try, great video Terry.
And to parrot another comment, that last game, holy crap.

Good review on my favourite line in this game...insteed of the heavy nerf this line suffered..

I can't imagine what you would have done with that ship pre nurf.
Yea, this doesn't make me warm up to Italian line at all. Hindy still looks much better as a 1st T10 CA to have in my opinion.

Thank you - Good review
Why no game with cv man... That's the real test!!
Without the legendary commander wont go for it.. black amalfi is great fun and trento/zara still after 2 nerf good cruiser

Ah yes I remember the good old days of rushing battleships with the Amalfi
Thanks Terry!!!! Now you know what I'm going to ask for next.........................It starts with a "Z", It has bad torp angles )but it is a flame thrower🔥), and it's at tier 10.
Z52...?
Nah, I know what you mean :) Kinda curious myself, since I'm at the Takao, which I still have to review as well.
@@FunandGameswithTerry I wouldn't complain with Z52 😄
This ship handles like a ferrari
Excellent 2nd game. Not a bad 1st one either. Thank you for targeting and killing dd's. It's a rare skill at tier 10 but it usually wins the game.
I'm still a cruiser main at heart, what can I say. I'll hunt DDs in anything, except CV, cause I'm crap at torp dropping.
Nice Kraken.
Less than 30 minutes ago gang, report!
Terry need help I am at present grinding up the American cruiser line and I am at a lost should I go the heavy cruiser or light cruiser line.... Please help me out the pros and cons of the respective line
This is such a frequently asked question, I'll make a video about it :)
@@FunandGameswithTerry thank you
Amazing stuff mate... that last game ✌

@@FunandGameswithTerry its a teamgame for sure
